Simple but finished game and that's already something. I found the control a bit counter intuitive.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD42 → Solar Destroyer

Good work! Definitely has the old school arcade feel :) The mechanics were interesting, and would be cool to see with more guns/enemies/things to do
Game doesn't work for me (Firefox, MacOS). It's just a blue box with "running" in the middle, and "powered by foo" on the top and bottom. WASD or arrows did nothing.
For what it's worth, the web console shows: ``` DOMException: "The operation is insecure." love.js:24:16509 ```
The game doesn't work for me either, there's no control that is working, and when I refresh it, nithing appears on screen :(
Is it me or is this game kinda hard ?
I had troubling getting past wave 2... xD
The graphics are simple enough to understand what's going on :stuck_out_tongue:
The game could use powerups to spice up the ghame a little bit
The controls feel a bit jarring, you should have kept the momentum when turning instead of stopping and restarting, makes dodging even harder than it already is.
Too bad there is no music/sound, it could have brought a nice touch to the game :slight_smile:
@panda I looked into the error that you got and it seems like it might be browser reliant. (@anastasiats as well) Try using another browser if the game doesn't work. Sorry that I don't have a mac build for the game, I'll try to get one running for the next jam!
@maksime thanks for your comments! I felt the turning mechanic was sort of off but it was kind of a last minute adjustment. Now that it's after the fact I realize I have a few more better ideas than what I went with. :P
Simple and fun game. Working with a limited colour palette definitely paid off graphic wise. It felt a bit unfair that the enemy aliens could move freely while I was restricted to a grid. The game is a good base to continue builing on, I can see different types of enemies, power-ups and a way to get some space back.
Keep up the good work!
This game could be a good shooter with some work. I think the view area is too small, making you run into enemies too easily, and limiting strategic gameplay. The game also needs some nice explosions.
the controls really take away from your game - i was too frustrated to continue - keep trying
I liked the Graphics, and the Gameplay was fun, Nice Game. :thumbsup:
